I speak from personal experience, having had the ACLU defend my right to protest a change of gun and ammo sales policy by K-Mart, after the 9/11 attacks. Since my protest was conducted on city property (i.e. New I beria, Louisiana) local police refused to allow it, citing vague local ordinances and premitting requrements.
Thus, permit me to rephrase my question: Subsequent to SCOTUS rulings in Heller and McDonald, has the aclu OPENLY changed the strict collectivist view (i.e. a vehement denial of the right of the individual sovereign citizen to keep and bear his/her personal firearms) that it presents to its membership and the world-at-large?

Thanks for asking that. Looked it up and found this: http://www.examiner.com/x-26553-LA-History-Examiner~y2010m7d25-ACLU-progun-lawsuit–NRA-antigun-bill

I think I’ll post it as a separate story.
